Mother Earth Will Survive May 2010
John Fekner and Don Leicht were invited to participate in the outdoor street exhibition Welling Court Mural Project organized by Ad Hoc Art in Astoria, NY. After a preliminary visit to the site, they decided to paint on a wall directly facing the Two Coves Community Garden and the NYCHA Astoria Houses Development. The location of their collaborative site-specific work was important for two reasons: not only did it connect with the thriving energy of the volunteer-run urban garden; it also provided a platform to address the catastrophic BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
